Looking for mentorship as I transition from an Advertising CD (art direction) into branding and identity work, as it’s always been a passion of mine. Willing and expectating to pay for training/mentorship and really looking for someone to really help elevate my design skills and set the blueprint for self practice as well as guided reviews and theory. If interested please DM me.

For those in the game industry, if most of your professional work is under NDA or private and you're just starting to build a public portfolio, do you think you'd still have a shot at a studio like Nintendo? And what would be the best way to break in when you're in that situation? any advice

Has anyone interviewed with Capital One multiple times before? I went through a "power day" back in 2024 and didn't get the job, but have been repeatedly asked to interview for various roles since then and have never moved into another power day. I'm convinced that they're only reaching out to me to check a legal box before hiring internally so that they don't have to bother looking for new candidates.

How much are we charging for full brand guidelines these days? I haven’t done one for freelance in about 7 years so I have no idea what to charge. Icon, wordmark + 5 department variations, all the standard brand book stuff (type, color, usage) and exporting all the file types for the main logo and all departments. Looking for a jumping off point here as I know there’s nuance. Not a mom and pop company. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
